Tom Perkins: People with more money should get more votes (VIDEO)

Billionaire venture capitalist Tom Perkins did not learn his lesson. This is the man that compared progressives to Nazis. According to CNN, Tom Perkins knew exactly what he was saying. He wanted to elicit the response and notoriety.

“The Tom Perkins system is: You don’t get to vote unless you pay a dollar of taxes,” Perkins said.

“But what I really think is, it should be like a corporation. You pay a million dollars in taxes, you get a million votes. How’s that?”

The audience at the Commonwealth Club reacted with laughter. But Perkins offered no immediate indication that he was joking. Asked offstage if the proposal was serious, Perkins said: “I intended to be outrageous, and it was.”

Perkins seemed to be aware that he was courting controversy, saying that his voting proposal would “make you more angry than my letter to the Wall Street Journal.”
